| Thread tolerance class is chosen in consideration of "engagement classification" and "engagement length". To realize the stable tapping, it is | 呼び | ピッチ | S | | N L | 呼び | ピッチ | S | | N L |
| necessary to fully understand the relation between these factors and to choose the suitable tolerance class. | | | | | | | | | | |

| On "engagement classification: middle", the tolerance class 6H is almost always chosen for standard internal threads. However, in case of "engage- | M1 | 0.2 | S≦0.5 | 0.5<N≦1.4 | 1.4<L | M10 | 1.25 | S≦4 | 4<N≦12 | 12<L |

| On M12x1.75, the tolerance of 7H is 25% (50μm) larger than that of 6H. And this widens the selection range of the tolerance class for taps to | M1.2 | 0.25 | S≦0.6 | 0.6<N≦1.7 | 1.7<L | M11 | 1.5 | S≦5 | 5<N≦15 | 15<L |
